A first semiconductor die and a second semiconductor die can be bonded in a manner that enhances alignment of bonding pads. Non-uniform deformation of a first wafer including first semiconductor dies can be compensated for by forming a patterned stress-generating film on a backside of the first wafer. Metallic bump portions can be formed on concave surfaces of metallic bonding pads by a selective metal deposition process to reduce gaps between pairs of bonded metallic bonding pads. Pad-to-pad pitch can be adjusted on a semiconductor die to match the pad-to-pad pitch of another semiconductor die employing a tilt-shift operation in a lithographic exposure tool. A chuck configured to provide non-uniform displacement across a wafer can be employed to hold a wafer in a contoured shape for bonding with another wafer in a matching contoured position. Independently height-controlled pins can be employed to hold a wafer in a non-planar configuration.

Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a method for forming an integrated chip in which a group III-V device is bonded to a substrate, as well as the resulting integrated chip. In some embodiments, the method includes: forming a chip including an epitaxial stack, a metal structure on the epitaxial stack, and a diffusion layer between the metal structure and the epitaxial stack; bonding the chip to a substrate so the metal structure is between the substrate and the epitaxial stack; and performing an etch into the epitaxial stack to form a mesa structure with sidewalls spaced from sidewalls of the diffusion layer. The metal structure may, for example, be a metal bump patterned before the bonding or may, for example, be a metal layer that is on an etch stop layer and that protrudes through the etch stop layer to the diffusion layer.
